At the Ataturk International Women's tournament (March 10-28, Istanbul), IM Irina
Krush has plus one after four rounds. 13-year-old Yifan Hou is off to a running start; the Chinese star leads with 3.5/4. The biggest surprise so far in the event is the disastrous performance from the former Chinese World Champion GM Zhu Chen who now lives in and plays for Qatar.
